The United States has submitted a draft resolution to several countries in the UN Security Council to deploy an international stabilization force in the Gaza Strip for at least two years, Axios reported.
The draft resolution, which journalists at the portal have reviewed, provides for “granting the United States and other participating countries broad powers to manage the Gaza Strip and ensure security until the end of 2027, with the possibility of extension“.
A US official specified that the document will be discussed by the UN Security Council in the coming days. The Washington administration wants the vote on the resolution to be held later, and the deployment of international forces in the Palestinian enclave to begin by January.
The draft document calls for the formation of an international force that will "secure the Gaza Strip's borders with Israel and Egypt, protect the civilian population and humanitarian corridors, and train a new Palestinian police force with which to cooperate," the media outlet reported. These forces would also be responsible for "demilitarizing the Gaza Strip, including the destruction and prevention of the reconstruction of military, terrorist, and offensive infrastructure," as well as confiscating weapons from groups operating in the enclave.
On September 29, the White House presented US President Donald Trump's "comprehensive plan" aimed at resolving the conflict in Gaza. The document consists of 20 points and calls for the introduction of an interim external administration in the Palestinian enclave and the deployment of international stabilization forces.
On October 9, the parties to the conflict signed an agreement to implement the first phase of the Trump peace plan. On October 10, the ceasefire agreement in Gaza came into force.
